It also depends what you are looking for in a jersey. The only current Jets player that is likely to get a sniff of the HOF is Helly, with 2 Vezina and a Jennings. One year of team success, with his personal success likely cements it. My next jersey is going to be his for this reason. I usually get 1 a year, but I just stick to the Jets.
When talking win streaks you really need to divide it into pre and post OT/Shootouts. Modern win streaks ain't what they used to be. But having said that it's quite the run and it's nice to see him having success.
Every era has its own uniqueness. No team will also ever have a season like the 1976-77 Habs where they only had 8 regular season loses and end the season 20 points up on the 2nd best team. So records get set in the context of the league rules of the time, so there is no need to apologize for it. Adding to that we are in an era where the unusual is more and more unlikely due to the salary cap. The 1976-77 Habs had 9 players that are in the Hall of Fame, most of them in their prime at the time. Can you imagine the cap hit a team like that would require today.
True but win streaks and points are totally screwed up by ot/shootout. We only won 1 in a row to start the season if we had the same rules as those habs had. So for what 60 years you had 60 minutes to win or it's a tie. It's part of why I hate the modern gimmick and points system.
The flip is it was easier in the past to have an undefeated streak since you never had to go to OT to decide a game. Or winless streaks like the Jets experienced back in the early 80s. Every era has records that are best suited to that era due to the rules at the time. Eventually the league might go to 3 points for a win system which will quickly rewrite all the records around points.
Welcome!
Lowry would have definitely been the top of the list, but the only jerseys on sale are Blank, Scheifele (Navy Alt) and Connor (Light Blue Alt). All the Customs are still full price and I prefer my jerseys to have a name on them.
The choice is clear then, Scheifele, because the navy alternate with the old school logo is awesome.
Definitely go with Scheif, that alt jersey is super sleek.
Just as a suggestion for this, perhaps the guy flying under the radar a bit is (in my opinion) even a better choice than the two guys you mentioned, that being Josh Morrissey. It is my opinion that he is the "most important" skater on this team.
Rebuilds with bad GM will do that.
Connor for sure. Locally it seems like Scheif, Helle, Morrissey are probably the highest profile players, but in the US hockey media, when they're talking Jets, it's all Connor......and for good reason. He's an amazing player.
In reality the Sharks rebuild has only really just started. The have a few really nice pieces, but the best of them are only 18 and 19. They have a lot of older guys that maybe get sold off for a bit more draft capital, but it is very likely they spend a decade or more out of the playoffs before the rebuild starts to take shape.
Surrounding those kids with the right vets with good work ethics and winning attitude will be huge
I just don't see how that model works.
